Season of Wonder: A Call for Entry

The San Antonio Art League + Museum invites current members to submit work for Season of Wonder: Art Inspired by Beauty, Curiosity, and Joy, on view November 22–December 18, 2026.

As the year draws to a close, we often find ourselves reflecting on moments of beauty, gratitude, mystery, and renewal. Season of Wonder invites artists to explore experiences that awaken a sense of awe and possibility. Wonder may be found in the changing seasons, the beauty of light, the natural world, cherished traditions, acts of kindness, treasured memories, or the creative process itself. Whether your work is contemplative, whimsical, luminous, or deeply personal, this exhibition celebrates the capacity of art to inspire curiosity and connection.

The theme is intentionally broad and welcoming. Artists are encouraged to interpret it in their own unique way while creating works that will resonate with visitors and holiday collectors alike -- original, affordable artwork that inspires delight, reflection, curiosity, and joy.

All media are welcome — painting, ceramics, fiber, sculpture, and more. Artists may submit up to three works for a $25 entry fee. Submissions are open now through October 25, 2026.
